Scripture Text: Psalm 5:1-3 NRSV
Today we come to our third sermon in our message about Making Your Life Count: Approaching God in Prayer.” Everyone prays sometimes; but not everyone prays the same. How can you make prayer an important part of your life that indeed changes your life and the lives of those around you? Pastor Wallace suggests to us that how we approach God matters to Him. He begins with considering two of the assumptions King David used to approach God in his prayer life: 1). God is great enough to answer our prayers and, 2). Prayer should be a priority in our lives. With these assumptions, you can appropriately approach God in prayer by first a sense of urgency, secondly, going to God in the early morning, and third, with a sense of expectancy. Professor Peter Gomes reminds us that “the Christian does not live by experience alone but by experience tempered by great expectation.” Do you pray with a sense of expectation, or do you live like the blind man at the pool of Bethesda? Amen
